    Aaaahhhhhh

    My client has asked if I'd like to become permanent! aaaaaaaaaah

    But then, I have been here 2.5 years and I'm more a permanent fixture than other members of the team. My attempts at finding freelance work (ie: proper business work) have failed. On the other hand, I don't think they're willing to pay what I would ask.

    There is a BIG announcement to be made here on Thursday I wonder if it has anything to do with culling contractors, and that I'm the only one who knows the system - as there is virtually no documentation on it.

          They haven't offered. they've just asked if I'd like to become permanent. But the IT salaries for techies maxes out at around £40K...and I'd want more than that.

            £40K a month isn't too bad.

              A month? I wouldn't get out of bed for that!

                But seriously, if there's no other work out there for u, and it ticks a number of other boxes then why not take them up on it for now?

                    There is a price for which you would be happy to go permanent.

                    1. work out what that is (without reference to how much you think they might expect it to be).
                    2. tell them.
